2023 was a year full of amazing dub led and dub influenced albums and had us fans jamming along from dusk till dawn! Here are our five favorite dub albums of the year.

Bumpin Uglies stretch their legs in their single “Everything Changes” featuring The Elovaters. True to their DMV roots, the song revolves around catchy pop-punk chorus, but they lean into the album title (Mid-Atlantic Dub) bringing in dub elements such as big echoing hits and an absolutely driving baseline.

Atlanta’s Piper Street Sound has dropped a grooving new EP, “Hulusi”. Talented musician, Matt Mansfield is able to blend reggae and dub while layering together different production vibes like analog, digital and analog. The vibes are so nice! General Pecos, Andy Bassford, and Subatomic Sound System collaborate with Piper Street Sound and as soon as you turn on the EP, you’ll feel instant relaxation!

Italy’s Mellow Mood is one of the most talented duos in the global reggae scene and the musician’s new album, “Mañana” is an important reminder to celebrate today and what’s to come tomorrow. “Mañana” is Mellow Mood’s sixth studio album and is another impressive milestone in Jacob and L.O. Garzia’s amazing reggae music catalog.

Zion I Kings have released a new single from their upcoming album, Future Oceans Echo. Red, Gold and Green Dubmarine takes listeners on a fantastic underwater journey that will have you jamming to the riddim while imagining swimming in crystal blue water.
